Here’s your round-up of December 2022 Disney World refurbishments for closed attractions and resorts.
If you’re planning on visiting Walt Disney World (WDW) in December, you’ll want to know what isn’t going to be up and running during your trip.
But you won’t have to guess what’ll be open and temporarily closed in December! Each month, we compile a list of everything scheduled to undergo refurbishment in the month ahead.
EPCOT Festival of the Holidays is in full swing, so make sure you jingle your bells down to WDW in December and drink up that festive cheer (and plenty of hot chocolate).

December 2022 Disney World Refurbishments
Rides close often for regular service and maintenance, so any unexpected closures will likely only last for a short while. If nothing else, it’s just another excuse to come back and experience the magic again.
